## Caption

I think I dreamed of you when I was young.

I met you the summer of 2008 at a NASA internship, where we quickly became the best of friends. You were this MIT, Football-playing 6'5'' giant who shared my goofy sense of humor. That summer, you taught me how to solve a Rubik's Cube, and I learned how patient you could be. In those short 3 months, you showed me that you were fun, funny, and adventurous (and had an unhealthy obsession with Chipotle). That following year we "played" Astronaut in the middle of the Utah dessert, which to this day, is the nerdiest thing I think either of us have ever done. You slept on the floor near my bunk because I was afraid of the rats running throughout the ceiling at night. In those 10 days you showed me how sweet and caring you were.

In 2010, we met again on the beaches of Cape Canaveral for a space shuttle launch. Although the launch got scrubbed, it's where we shared our first kiss and knew that this was more than a friendship. Soon after, you moved to Boston, and we've been having adventures together ever since.

You are loving, understanding, attentive and patient. You're brilliant, gorgeous, hard working and I just can't get enough of you. 
You're everything I dreamed about as a little girl, and soon you will be my husband.
